Of course, I think Dave has the right idea, it's a lovely bird instead of a bat.

I love the "Bats" and you and Harry were never slaves to convention anyway so the center looks great to me. Of course, the mob at the door with pitch forks are a bit of a worry but that high powered weapon that Harry has for the bats could also be a solution for that worry as well :-) You did a great job dying the yarn. I look forward to seeing it in progress!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291336363387079445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-50892509074226071632009-04-20T21:16:00.000-05:002009-04-20T21:16:00.000-05:00You know, I don't knit other people's shawls preci...You know, I don't knit other people's shawls precisely because of strangely written patterns---and errors. I'm just not a skilled enough knitter to figure out how to fix a discrepancy. But recently I saw a shawl so pretty that I just HAD to knit it---but after I knitted a few inches and got completely confused because of errors, and then asked the pattern designer how to fix them, I kind of got the impression that I was a pain in the a... (I was told that I should just "look at it to figure out how it should be".) (The whole thing was frustrating since the designer specifically said they'd "fixed all the errors"...)<br /><br />Thus, I usually write my own patterns for stuff.Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-80328160324927083992009-04-20T19:54:00.000-05:002009-04-20T19:54:00.000-05:00I've slowly been learning my lesson about reading ...I've slowly been learning my lesson about reading a pattern through fully.Kellihttp://www.knitterbunny.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-77387865727546611392009-04-20T18:04:00.000-05:002009-04-20T18:04:00.000-05:00this promises to be an epic thriller! it's coming ...this promises to be an epic thriller! it's coming along just beautifully and the suspense of not knowing what will come next is killing me. ;)Opalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721882634044972063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4463307798012270911.post-85946009531181622572009-04-20T15:05:00.000-05:002009-04-20T15:05:00.000-05:00Wonderful!
